Marvin Vivid Collection
Premium materials. Exceptional quality. Reliable warranties and quality control.
Key Benefits
Beauty
There’s something slightly cinematic about the Vivid Collection. Big glass. Slim sightlines. Rooms that suddenly feel less like rooms and more like observatories with furniture scattered around. San Francisco houses do that sometimes — fog drifts in sideways, light bounces off the Bay, then vanishes before lunch. Vivid windows seem built for that weird coastal theater.
Termal
Ultrex® fiberglass exteriors resist expansion, warping, and salt-heavy Bay Area air. Massive glass sizes fit modern homes in Oakland Hills, Marin, and contemporary SF remodels. Clean, minimalist profiles work beautifully in transitional architecture. Strong thermal performance for chilly Sunset District mornings and over-air-conditioned Peninsula offices. Excellent for custom homes needing dramatic views without chunky framing.
Custom Solutions
The Vivid Collection offers surprisingly flexible customization without turning the selection process into a chemistry exam. Matte Black hardware. Satin Nickel. Bronze finishes that look almost damp in evening light. Interior finishes stay clean and restrained, while exterior Ultrex fiberglass handles Bay Area moisture swings better than most materials people casually trust too much.
Low-E glass packages, argon gas fills, and optional triple-pane configurations help stabilize indoor temperatures during those strange San Francisco days when it’s 54° outside and somehow 81° in the upstairs office. The collection also supports oversized direct-glaze windows up to 10 feet, which feels excessive until you see the Pacific through one. Then it makes emotional sense. Performance ratings up to PG50 help with wind, rain, and coastal pressure changes too.

Learn More About The Vivid Collection
The Ultrex® fiberglass frame expands and contracts at nearly the same rate as glass, which preserves the seal integrity over years of Bay Area temperature cycling between cold marine mornings and warm afternoon sun.
The collection supports direct-glaze panels up to 10 feet wide, making it a practical choice for Bay Area hillside properties and coastal homes where unobstructed panoramic views are a design priority.
Unlike aluminum, fiberglass does not corrode in coastal salt air environments which is particularly relevant for properties in San Francisco neighborhoods with direct ocean exposure.
Hardware in Matte Black, Oil-Rubbed Bronze, Satin Nickel, and other finishes is available - allowing the collection to work in both contemporary and transitional interiors without the hardware reading as either overtly modern or traditional.
